Dr. Southey and others have attempted to whiten this blackamore, but the veil that they throw over him is so transparent that it cannot deceive those who are in the least degree spiritually enlightened. He alleges that Bunyan, in his mad career of vice and folly, 'was never so given over to a reprobate mind, as to be wholly free from compunctions of conscience.
Hart held by it, but Grant carried bigger guns in real knowledge of the artist's limitations as well as his privileges. Hart was the first to notice the newcomer's presence, and greeted him joyously. "Come along, Robinson, and manacle this reprobate," he shouted. "He's nothing but a narrow-minded pre-Rafaelite. A period in prison will dust the cobwebs out of his attic."
Then the lady gave a shrill laugh, and as the others looked at her in amazement she said coolly "You men will wade through blood and shame with that reprobate, if he but orders you to do so. I am only a woman, and yet I will show him that there are limits even to his malignity."
"That would be a pity," said I, "for I intend having as many goddesses as the heathens had, and I should like to worship them in a classical fashion." "Oh, the young reprobate!" said the beauty, tapping me with her fan. "And pray, what other deities besides Venus do I resemble?" "All!" said I, "at least, all the celestial ones!"
'You are a braggart, Sir, cried he, 'a wretch a blot on the cheek of nature a blight on the Christian world a reprobate I'll have your soul, Sir. You must play at tennis, and put down elect brethren in another world to-morrow. As he said this, he brandished his rapier, exciting Dalcastle to offence. He gained his point.
It is the people who are the waters, and I will divide the lowly and faithful folk from the proud and faithless folk; I will part the chosen from the reprobate as light from darkness." But it was in vain that he strove to win royal favour for the popular cause.
He needs one. If ever a stingy old reprobate needed to have a warnin' from the hereafter that man does." "Did you hear anything anything else?" whispered Emily, fearfully. "No, I didn't, and I didn't wait for fear I MIGHT hear it. Did I lock the door when I came in? Emily, I guess you think I'm the silliest old coward that ever was. I am and I know it.
I had not yet learnt how contradictory is human nature; I did not know how much pose there is in the sincere, how much baseness in the noble, nor how much goodness in the reprobate. But there was something of an adventure in my trip, and my spirits rose as I approached Paris.
This the scriptures every where do shew us. The question then is, whether the elect and reprobate receive a differing grace? To which I answer, Yes, in some respects, both as to the nature thereof, and also the degree. To begin then with the nature of it. And so of other things.
When a man's soul is certainly in hell, his body will scarce lie quiet in a tomb however costly; some time or other the door must open, and the reprobate come forth in the abhorred garments of the grave. It was thought a high piece of prowess to knock at the Lord Advocate's mausoleum and challenge him to appear. 'Bluidy Mackingie, come oot if ye dar'! sang the fool- hardy urchins.
